Adaptively weighted learning method for magnetic resonance fingerprinting

Abstract In magnetic resonance fingerprinting, every fingerprint evolution is the combined result of multiple intrinsic parameters (such as T1 and T2) and system parameters. Present learning‐based methods do not fully take into consideration of the diversity of parameters, which averages multiple pa...

description Abstract In magnetic resonance fingerprinting, every fingerprint evolution is the combined result of multiple intrinsic parameters (such as T1 and T2) and system parameters. Present learning‐based methods do not fully take into consideration of the diversity of parameters, which averages multiple parameters estimation loss. Because of the non‐linear coupling nature between fingerprint evolutions and multiple parameters, different parameters have different contributions to the pattern of fingerprints. Even for the same parameter, different value ranges have different contributions to the fingerprints. During the learning processing, neglecting the diversity of parameters induces over fitting or out fitting of the network. To solve this problem, an adaptively weighted learning method is proposed. Taking the estimation uncertainty of each parameter as its weight, a weighted loss function is constructed to train the network. The weights of different parameters compete to obtain the optimal learning direction. Reconstructed fingerprints with 10% random noise is applied to train the network, and the fingerprints with different noise levels (5%–10%) are used to validate the robustness of the network. The results of simulation experiments show that the proposed method obtains better performance in terms of estimation accuracy and precision.
